Diablo 5 Classes That Are Not Confirmed

AnswerConfirmed[B1] news.blizzard.com · verified Oct 10, 2026[T2] warcraft.blizzplanet.com · verified Oct 10, 2026Verified on Oct 10, 2026

Blizzard has confirmed just three Diablo 5 classes: the Plague Knight, the Demon Hunter and the Monk. It promises "more classes than ever before," but hasn't named a number or a single extra class. Anything beyond those three is speculation for now.

What has Blizzard said about more classes?

Plenty about ambition, nothing about numbers.

Shely's clarification on the panel matters: the bar isn't another Diablo's launch roster, it's the total any Diablo ever reached. Confirmed[T2] warcraft.blizzplanet.com · verified Oct 6, 2026

What Blizzard hasn't published is its own count of classes per game. Without that, "more than ever" can't be turned into a number.

Where does "nine or ten classes" come from?

That's why you won't read "Diablo 5 will have ten classes" on Terror Codex. If Blizzard publishes a number, we'll add it with its source and date.

Is my favorite class coming back?

Only two classes from earlier games are confirmed to return: the Demon Hunter and the Monk. The third confirmed class, the Plague Knight, is new. Confirmed[B1] news.blizzard.com · verified Oct 10, 2026

"Confirmed" means exactly what the row says: the class has not been announced. It doesn't mean it won't return. The list isn't exhaustive; it covers the most searched classes.

What about the Amazon?

Blizzard revealed an Amazon at the same BlizzCon, but as a Diablo IV class pack for the first half of

How we handle speculation

  • No unannounced class appears as confirmed, in a title or in a class table.
  • There's no page per class that might return: just this one, labeled.
  • When Blizzard announces a class, it gets its own page and this table changes, with a changelog entry.

Will Diablo 5 have ten classes?

That is not a Blizzard figure. It is press math based on "more classes than ever," and it depends on whether Diablo IV's Amazon counts.
